The Mountain Hardwear Defender Backpack's versatile design lets you take it on the trail or on campus without stopping by your apartment to switch. Though Mountain Hardwear loaded this bag with technical features like High Tenacity nylon construction and an ice axe loop, they also added college-ready components like a 15in laptop sleeve. The Defender Backpack's side pocket keeps your water bottle within reach when you're hiking, and the shoulder-mounted cell pocket ensures you never miss a call between classes.

Bottom Line: Get off your couch, grab your Mountain Hardwear Defender Backpack, and go.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Very tough pack. I am a MHW whore though so my opinion is biased. It has never failed me in a good storm. My laptop stays dry and when you feel the material it is made out of you will understand.

Excuse me~I have the same question about the laptop sleeve. Is

Excuse me~I have the same question about the laptop sleeve.

Is there anything at the bottom of bag that can proteact my laptop?
Is it make to be thickened?
Is it thick enogh to protect my laptop?

I hope at the bottom of the bad and the four side of the bag would have some pad to proteact my laptop, and thick enough to depart with other odds.

And can this bag carry my MacBook pro(15in) which is 12.78in x 8.94in.

Last, I'd like to see what the bag look like inside.
Could anyone give me the picture which can show the bag inside, Please.
Please send to krohscle@gmail.com

Can I pay for credit card?

Shelock. The laptop sleeve is not attached to the bottom of the pack. So, when you set it down on hard ground the laptop would still be sitting in its sleeve a couple inches off the ground thereby protecting it. Your 15" Macbook should fit no problem. If you order from Backcountry you can use your credit card. Hope this info helps!

This is a great little backpack. I use it for commuting to work on my motorcycle. Fits my laptop, change of shoes, jacket and some pretty hefty motorcycle pants.

It has plenty of little pockets on the inside, including padded ones for sunglasses and an mp3 player.

I have ridden in several typical Seattle, WA downpours and everything has kept dry so far.

Good, but small

I like this backpack. It's definitely made for taking your laptop and maybe two textbooks and a notebook (if you squeeze them) and nothing else. I've had it out in light rain and no water gets in, but I haven't gotten drenched with it on yet. Overall it's good; I like the two buckles coming around the front. They keep it in place when biking around. The mesh pockets on the outside are nice. I'm not sure if the pocket for your iPod is waterproof if you have the headphone wires coming out or not though.
